Erin Abernathy and Gail Siegel, employees of the Naja and avid metalsmiths, will be presenting the Nimbus Dome
This nifty photography system allows beaders, jewelry makers and metalsmiths a unique, inexpensive way to photograph their work using the Nimbus 4 piece set and a Smartphone. Detailed and clear images are a snap to take allowing you to use your time for beading, not photography. Each of the 4 pieces will be available the night of the demo at 10% off their regular price.
The Naja will be also bring some unique jigs that every beader should have in their toolbox.
The Naja is pleased to be able to work with the Rocky Mountain Bead Society. We’ve been members and have participated in the RM Bead Bazaar for at least 8 years. We feel that the metalsmithing community has a lot to offer local bead enthusiastic and we love to share our knowledge.
